|
|
<p>I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace,<br>
|
|
Upon the King’s highway, with peaceful, shining face;<br>
|
|
Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could afright;<br>
|
|
He said, “The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,<br>
|
|
Palms of victory I shall wear.</p>
|
|
<p>I saw him in the furnace; he doubted not, nor feared,<br>
|
|
And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared;<br>
|
|
Though seven times ’twas heated, with all the tempter’s might,<br>
|
|
He cried, “The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>’Mid storms, and clouds, and trials, in prison, at the stake,<br>
|
|
He leaped for joy, rejoicing, ’twas all for Jesus’ sake;<br>
|
|
That God should count him worthy, was such supreme delight,<br>
|
|
He cried, “The yoke is easy, the burden, is so light.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife,<br>
|
|
Until he crossed the threshold of God’s eternal life;<br>
|
|
The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name, the stone so white,<br>
|
|
Were his, who found, in Jesus, the yoke and burden light.</p>

<h1><a name="deliverance"></a>DELIVERANCE WILL COME</h1>
|
|
<p class="just">The following lyrics appear in <em>Gospel Hymns, Consolidated, Embracing Volumes No. 1, 2, 3 and 4, Without Duplicates</em> (Biglow & Main: 1883), where they are attributed to John B. Matthias, 1836. Based on the parallel theme and identical refrain, they seem closely related to “The Bloodwashed Pilgrim.”</p>

|
|
<p>I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad,<br>
|
|
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad;<br>
|
|
His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,<br>
|
|
Yet he shouted as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,<br>
|
|
Palms of victory I shall wear.</p>
|
|
<p>The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow,<br>
|
|
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow;<br>
|
|
But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home,<br>
|
|
Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way<br>
|
|
Attracted his attention, inviting his delay:<br>
|
|
His watchword being “Onward!” he stopped his ears and ran,<br>
|
|
Still shouting as he journeyed, “Deliverance will come!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low;<br>
|
|
He’d overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below:<br>
|
|
He saw the Golden City—his everlasting home—<br>
|
|
And shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance will come!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>While gazing on that city, just o’er the narrow flood,<br>
|
|
A band of holy angels came from the throne of God;<br>
|
|
They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam,<br>
|
|
And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore,<br>
|
|
Saying, “Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!”<br>
|
|
Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run,<br>
|
|
He shouted loud, “Hosanna! Deliverance has come!”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
